Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 November 2004
251 Mr. Lowry asked the Minister for Education and Science the position regarding a school (details supplied); if the project will proceed to design stage shortly; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28248/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe application for a new school building at the school to which the Deputy refers is being considered as part of a review of all projects which did not proceed to construction as part of the 2004 school building programme with a view to including them as part of a multi-annual programme from 2005. All projects are being assessed against the revised prioritisation criteria, published earlier this year following consultation with the education partners.
Each project will be assigned a band rating and the progress of all projects will be considered in the context of the multi-annual programme. Following conclusion of the current Estimates and budgetary process I intend to publish the 2005 building programme which will operate in a multi-annual framework.
